close your eyes
and feel the sea
watch the water
turn blue, green and teal,
let the wind take the lead,
breathe in the sun,
don’t let your sins bleed,
exhale out all the deadlines,
and shine.
Maybe because
I have loved hard;
I decided
To Live Hard


(as in living life to the fullest kind of hard)
"Dead people receive more flowers
than the living ones
because regret is stronger
than gratitude."

Hoping to be that which I can't
hoping to see you smile at last
I am lost in this shadow
wanting to see the light

Hoping for some change
hoping for revenge
I do not understand the steps you take
and I don't want to partake

Hoping to get away
hoping to stay the same
conflict arises within me
every hour of every day

My life is a cramped musty space
I only fantasize the outside world
my window is the fated release
I breathe a slice of life
as I peer, squint for hours
to a nonexistent entity
fantasy of contact
wishful friendship
the forest seen
is my only hope
I dwell upon this trance
the window is my promise
Kings have reigned less time
Than the years I spent loving you.
I'm glad it ended 10/4/17
The reasons I know I had loved you
well and fully
are by the pages and words it took
for me to find and fill
as I forgot and missed you stilly.
Another sweet nothing

SIGH*

I saw “you” and was left breathless;

Gasping... choking... suffocating..

Desperately Searching and yearning for air,
Mesmerized by the uncanny sight
Of carved sadness on your face.
The pain in your eyes had a strong
Resemblance with the inhumane graffiti downtown,
The place where losing your soul is fashionable.

You bathed in misery, clothed with sorrow
You smelled like regret, and had the purest fake smile.

You were genuine
You were dripping
You were dripping pain
